I used to be a huge underachiever, but through obsessive self-improvement I found my success earned a college scholarship played for my national football team a YouTube channel with over 100 million views I've helped players worldwide and I'd love to help you improve faster and achieve more But think about the technique the more you focus on the technique how to improve the technique the better you'll get in a shorter period of time so basic shooting technique Let's just focus on laces today Trying to make strong contact with the center of the ball Flexed foot hard foot toes down ankle locked Leg flex calf flex quad flex Body tense for that half a second where you make contact if you're limping any way if I hit this ball in my Ankle goes limp like that weak shot if my leg Is not nice and strong weak shot if my body my upper body is out of control at all weak shot We're on out of control shot. Okay, so focus on when you when you're striking the ball Tighten up. I'm not saying like flex and get really really tense But you have to control your body tighten everything up for that half second where you make contact with the ball Okay, just focusing on tightening up the legs tightening up the technique of the foot Pausing keeping your upper body nice and still not leaning back when you hit it You don't lose control you fall over one way. That's gonna make your shot better right away Okay, but come back to the foot technique I'm trying to strike depending on where I'm going Hey, what's up? I hope you're finding this content helpful Watch this all the way to the end if you want to find out which subscriber got this video a special shout out In a straight shot, and let's just focus on that today hitting a straight shot with the laces I'm trying to meet the center of the ball With a strong flex foot as I said if I hit there and then this ankle goes weak My shots gonna have a lot of back spin is just gonna go nice into the keeper's hands really soft shot If you're keeping that flexed through the ball as you make contact as you make contact It's still flexed watch your foot what it does after you hit the ball Do you keep that ankle flexion that leg flexion through the ball? It's so important after you make contact push through the ball with that firm technique Okay, the other thing I want to talk about today. These are all the tips I'll give you for shooting today is the fall through if I want my shot to go straight My foot my body needs to go straight If you hit a shot and it goes off to the side Okay, it's either where you hit the ball So if I hit the ball Here it's likely to go here if I hit it here It's likely to go there, but if I fall through even if I hit it straight in the middle But if I fall through across my body, that's where the shots gonna go So analyze your fall through Can you make it go? Straight if you hit it straight that ball will go straight If you hit across the ball will go across your technique will never lie to you So every shot when you're practicing analyze your technique see if you can do a little bit better each time If you like this content check out the soccer success planner you can download it for free There's a link in the description below and for advanced training check out the online soccer Academy Let us do Some soccer shooting drills We're gonna focus on everything we talked about with technique. I'm gonna use a wall Wall is extremely valuable when you're practicing shooting especially for a beginner unless you have 20 balls If you have to hit it in the net as I've said before hit it in the net run and get your ball run and go back Do it again. You're not getting as many repetitions as Striking on the wall it's back already Another shot another rep more reps better skills. So I'm gonna use a wall and the way I would start is Take your shot Take as many touches as you need to set yourself for another shot Okay, now when I'm shooting especially as a beginner this distance is not very far And I am not focused on blasting the ball as hard as I can what I want to do is get good technique On the ball every time if I can Make that ball go straight hit the wall come back to me So I don't have to run everywhere. You're succeeding as a beginner because you're getting more repetitions So don't worry about the power the power comes from good technique if you can improve your technique You'll come power will come naturally. You'll improve your power very quickly. So first one Take as many touches as you need to set yourself for a shot Playing with both feet from the beginning if I didn't like my strike on one side, I'll go again Okay, and I want to follow through a bit more I keep pulling What I'm trying to fix in my head on my left is when I hit it. I'm pulling myself To the right. I'm not going forward So oftentimes I'll pull that shot what I need to practice is Moving that way with my fall through forward not dragging across that's what I'm trying to fix there First one open touch second one Two touch so take your shot good technique now you have one touch to set yourself For the next shot one touch to get out of your feet And strike it So if my first touch is not good enough in a game, I'm not going to be able to get my shots off That ball is coming to you you want to score but you're already thinking about shooting you didn't even think about setting yourself So when that ball is coming you focus on This touch so important get out of your feet So you can get the strike that you want on it Okay, so two touch the next shooting drill I'll do is One time shooting first time so as that ball is coming to me I don't have any touches to set it I have to strike it and I have to make it go forward Straight because if you're playing one time shots And you're not making the ball go straight You're not going to be able to keep the rhythm. You don't have to run over there run over there So focus on hitting center of the ball contact right in the middle of the ball because if I hit it on the side It's going to pull there if I hit it on this side It's going to pull there and I'm not going to be able to do this drill start with a small distance Again, don't worry about power Focus on good technique The pure in my technique is the sharper my technique is The better the power will be and this will transform transfer to every style of shooting Okay, so it seems like I'm not hitting the ball hard. I'm not I'm just focusing on making good contact. So when I do want to add the power I have that technique there that firm foot through the center of the ball Okay, the other thing with this one is extremely important Is my footwork leading up to the shot So when I strike the ball if I'm flat footed here to hit a one-timer With good technique very difficult So what I want to do when I'm playing one time is Focus on my movement as much as my shot Okay, steady myself Contact let's do a better demo Okay contacts there fall throughs forward Okay, if it bounces up on you react to it but It's the sharpness of the feet. It's the quickness of the feet Getting where I need to be with my body on the ball if you are not moving your feet quickly And you're lunging for shots It's gonna be difficult to have good shots Another drill you can do is shooting after a skill or shooting off a dribble so You could have a cone here, but let's say a little bit of skill And now take a shot better Better demo than that, please Okay, go again a little bit of skill so dribbling Change of direction getting your shot off and We don't like pulling there, so I'm going to fix it again There we go good Last one I'll demo today is shooting off a turn So a lot of times in a game Maybe you're in front of goal Playing as a striker the nets this way, but I received the ball this way Maybe I don't have anyone to lay the ball off to for them to take a shot Or I just know ahead of time. I want to get into this space before that ball comes to me So as that ball is coming I have to practice turning Striking because you'll find This is a different skill than just shooting straight forward So it's coming off the turn control the body And strike, but I would start like that Play here And what will happen When you're doing that is The tendency is here overcompensate And you end up there So really focus on getting your shot going straight Towards the goal, so again here Focus on straight Yes Quick turn And I want better contact on my right These are some soccer shooting drills For beginners This is the featured subscriber for this video If you'd like to be featured in future videos hit that like button Drop a comment below and let me know how my content has helped you improve as a player If you like this content, check out the soccer success planner.
